[ Upstream commit da05b143a308bd6a7a444401f9732678ae63fc70 ]

vmlinux-objs-y is added to targets, which currently means that the EFI
stub gets added to the targets as well. It shouldn't be added since it
is built elsewhere.

This confuses Makefile.build which interprets the EFI stub as a target
	$(obj)/$(objtree)/drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/lib.a
and will create drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/ underneath
arch/x86/boot/compressed, to hold this supposed target, if building
out-of-tree. [0]

Fix this by pulling the stub out of vmlinux-objs-y into efi-obj-y.

[0] See scripts/Makefile.build near the end:
    # Create directories for object files if they do not exist

[ Upstream commit 41d90b0c1108d1e46c48cf79964636c553844f4c ]

Commit

  17054f492dfd ("efi/x86: Implement mixed mode boot without the handover protocol")

introduced a new entry point for the EFI stub to be booted in mixed mode
on 32-bit firmware.

When entered via efi32_pe_entry, control is first transferred to
startup_32 to setup for the switch to long mode, and then the EFI stub
proper is entered via efi_pe_entry. efi_pe_entry is an MS ABI function,
and the ABI requires 32 bytes of shadow stack space to be allocated by
the caller, as well as the stack being aligned to 8 mod 16 on entry.

Allocate 40 bytes on the stack before switching to 64-bit mode when
calling efi_pe_entry to account for this.

For robustness, explicitly align boot_stack_end to 16 bytes. It is
currently implicitly aligned since .bss is cacheline-size aligned,
head_64.o is the first object file with a .bss section, and the heap and
boot sizes are aligned.

<title>x86/boot: Correct relocation destination on old linkers</title>

[ Upstream commit 5214028dd89e49ba27007c3ee475279e584261f0 ]

For the 32-bit kernel, as described in

  6d92bc9d483a ("x86/build: Build compressed x86 kernels as PIE"),

pre-2.26 binutils generates R_386_32 relocations in PIE mode. Since the
startup code does not perform relocation, any reloc entry with R_386_32
will remain as 0 in the executing code.

Commit

  974f221c84b0 ("x86/boot: Move compressed kernel to the end of the
                 decompression buffer")

added a new symbol _end but did not mark it hidden, which doesn't give
the correct offset on older linkers. This causes the compressed kernel
to be copied beyond the end of the decompression buffer, rather than
flush against it. This region of memory may be reserved or already
allocated for other purposes by the bootloader.

Mark _end as hidden to fix. This changes the relocation from R_386_32 to
R_386_RELATIVE even on the pre-2.26 binutils.

For 64-bit, this is not strictly necessary, as the 64-bit kernel is only
built as PIE if the linker supports -z noreloc-overflow, which implies
binutils-2.27+, but for consistency, mark _end as hidden here too.

The below illustrates the before/after impact of the patch using
binutils-2.25 and gcc-4.6.4 (locally compiled from source) and QEMU.

  Disassembly before patch:
    48:   8b 86 60 02 00 00       mov    0x260(%esi),%eax
    4e:   2d 00 00 00 00          sub    $0x0,%eax
                          4f: R_386_32    _end
  Disassembly after patch:
    48:   8b 86 60 02 00 00       mov    0x260(%esi),%eax
    4e:   2d 00 f0 76 00          sub    $0x76f000,%eax
                          4f: R_386_RELATIVE      *ABS*

Dump from extract_kernel before patch:
	early console in extract_kernel
	input_data: 0x0207c098 &lt;--- this is at output + init_size
	input_len: 0x0074fef1
	output: 0x01000000

Mike Lothian reports that after commit
  964124a97b97 ("efi/x86: Remove extra headroom for setup block")
gcc 10.1.0 fails with

  HOSTCC  arch/x86/boot/tools/build
  /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/10.1.0/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld:
  error: linker defined: multiple definition of '_end'
  /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/10.1.0/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld:
  /tmp/ccEkW0jM.o: previous definition here
  collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
  make[1]: *** [scripts/Makefile.host:103: arch/x86/boot/tools/build] Error 1
  make: *** [arch/x86/Makefile:303: bzImage] Error 2

The issue is with the _end variable that was added, to hold the end of
the compressed kernel from zoffsets.h (ZO__end). The name clashes with
the linker-defined _end symbol that indicates the end of the build
program itself.

Even when there is no compile-time error, this causes build to use
memory past the end of its .bss section.

To solve this, mark _end as static, and for symmetry, mark the rest of
the variables that keep track of symbols from the compressed kernel as
static as well.

In the CONFIG_X86_VERBOSE_BOOTUP=Y case, the debug_puthex() macro just
turns into __puthex(), which takes 'unsigned long' as parameter.

But in the CONFIG_X86_VERBOSE_BOOTUP=N case, it is a function which
takes 'unsigned char *', causing compile warnings when the function is
used. Fix the parameter type to get rid of the warnings.
